Chemical and isotope data (epsilon Ca-40, delta Ca-44/42, Sr-87/Sr-86, delta O-18) of river water samples were collected twice daily for 28 days in 2009 from the outlet river of Leverett Glacier, West Greenland. The water chemistry data was combined with detailed geochemical analysis and petrography...
